OK, so it seems you are requesting a DCF based on your wife/beneficiary? Might be a tough climb. Earlier you said you have a job offer upcoming. You need to base the DCF request on that. Still may not work, but more likely as generally DCF requests are based on the petitioner's situation. I will leave my comments as to the lawyer to myself other than my overall feeling of if a lawyer (or visa service) claims they can speed things through the system, I would never use them. Good Luck!

Are you saying the divorce is not legally accepted in the US? I am confused.

Moved to the Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits forum.

1) Nothing you need to do unless you have solid proof she committed immigration fraud. 2) Yes, she can try with a divorce waiver. I assume she has a copy of it.

To be clear, I meant transferring an active I130 with USCIS to a consulate for DCF. Of course I130s will reach a consulate eventually during regular processing.

So you have an active I130 filed with USCIS? I have not heard of a successful case of transferring an I130 that has already been filed at USCIS to a consulate.

Kind of dovetailing off my last post, and yes, this could have gone in the Pope Francis thread, but it seemed more important here. After Pope Francis, The Vatican Must Embrace Energy Humanism His 2023 apostolic exhortation, “Laudate Deum,” reads like it was written by Greta Thunberg and a horde of Brussels-based bureaucrats. Francis claims that “millions of people are losing their jobs due to different effects of climate change: rising sea levels, droughts, and other phenomena affecting the planet have left many people adrift. Conversely, the transition to renewable forms of energy, properly managed, as well as efforts to adapt to the damage caused by climate change, are capable of generating countless jobs in different sectors.” Millions are losing their jobs due to climate change? Where, exactly, is that happening? If the transition is “properly managed,” it could create “countless jobs”? Really? Doing what? Putting solar panels on convent rooftops? Who will ensure “proper” management? Germany? Francis didn’t back up any of those extravagant claims. Laudate Deum contains 44 footnotes. That paragraph doesn’t have a single citation. Francis’ main felony appears in paragraph 55, where he claims, “the necessary transition towards clean energy sources such as wind and solar energy, and the abandonment of fossil fuels, is not progressing at the necessary speed.” Let’s ignore the foolishness of attempting to run the global economy on the incurably intermittent energy provided by the wind and sun. Let’s also ignore the landscape-obliterating, bird-and-bat-killing, farmland-paving energy sprawl that comes with large alt-energy projects. Instead, let’s focus on hydrocarbons. Claiming we should give up coal, oil, and natural gas — which, according to the latest IEA data, provide 80% of all global energy — ignores physics, economics, and the needs of the world’s poorest people. https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/after-pope-francis-the-vatican-must

Yes, she would use the same tax information since they file jointly. Good Luck!

Congratulations on dealing with a very rare case. Five years will fly by, and heed well the suggestions by @OldUser.

My wife came through DTW with a K1 (some time ago), and it was a breeze, no secondary at least for her. Detroit is not too busy relative to international flights, so expect relatively quick service. Good Luck! Here are the reviewed for DTW you may be interested in. https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php?trim=no&poe=Detroit&page=1&dfilter=0

She is filling out the I864A in support of her husband’s (the co-sponsor) I864, so treat the husband as the sponsor in this case. As to section 9, sure, fill out her name information, then put N/A at 3, 4, 5, and 6.

There is just one intending immigrant right?

Yep, I corrected it. Thanks!

Relationship to sponsor. Spouse of the (Joint) sponsor? Note: This comment was mistakenly edited.
